White Diamond with Centred Dot ⟐

Usage snapshot:

• Used in content written with the Common script; suitable for UI labels and body text.
• Appears in the Unicode block Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-A.

History & usage: The character depicts WHITE DIAMOND WITH CENTRED DOT. The name contains shape tokens—DIAMOND as a geometric form and DOT as a small round mark—with CENTRED as a qualifier about placement. In general typography and notation, such shape and placement tokens signal a distinctive symbol style and a precise visual cue, used to separate ideas or mark relationships without relying on letters or words. The combination here pairs a square-ish diamond with a centered point, suggesting a compact operator-like sign in mathematical contexts.

Usage contexts include: scholarly editions and archival transcription where compact symbols annotate steps or results in diagrams; dictionaries, grammars, and educational primers that illustrate symbol sets in the Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-A block; and typographic revivals or specimen pages that document historical notation and its visual variants. Its Common script and the Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-A block shape how it appears in math texts, technical charts, and UI helpers for quick comparisons or formula sketches. If a platform supports extended figures or symbol catalogs, this sign may appear in variant layouts or alongside other marks for contrast. Cross‑platform appearance should be accessible with a clear text alternative and scalable rendering.
